In Manulife’s latest study, “In Wellness and In Health: Navigating the landscape of health, well-being, and financial preparedness in the Philippines," we found that many Filipinos struggle to commit to healthier lifestyles. While they acknowledge the importance of maintaining good health and wellness in the long term, their behavior and attitude towards nutrition and wellness need to be improved.
Additionally, the study found that Filipinos aged 18-29 have fallen sick more frequently than other age segments. Their concerns about Anxiety and Depression are much higher as well.
We also delved into Filipinos' level of financial preparedness and security to manage health emergencies. We found that 41% of their medical spending are out-of-pocket, further highlighting the need to secure the right health protection plan that will enable them to live better every day.
